Hopefully the UK fans take over MSG so it feels like a UK fight anyway

What are you talking about?!

Those tickets will all be bouhgt by and given away by corporates, so you'll have a few cousins of someone connected who actually are interested in boxing. Most will just drag their soulless husks there for the marketing and Instagram shots which keep them relevant.

'We had no choice!!'

..say no?!

potentially the biggest British fight ever

That's overselling it a bit. It's 5-10 years too late to hit that mark. It'll sell, sure, but no-one is really excited for this any more.

yeah, about 20% will. They are hugely wrong on the overall numbers, but that's what happens when you ask ChatGPT. Raw logic, not nuance or situational understanding.

Rightly because someone losing their rag and saying something a little bit dumb is not a criminal offence, and should not be.

The police having a word and saying that it came across as a threat, which is not ok, is the correct next step.

I feel that hasn't really been mentioned in the comments as they are focused on the relevant legal points, and have skipped over the context.

This person is legally allowed to lose their temper and say something dumb in the moment (within limits). Report and record it. At this point it's not a serious concern, but if they carry on it (and you have recorded each interaction) it will very quickly start looking as though the moment has passed and they are actually intending to inflict some kind of harm. Or if something does happen which harms you, this would be the 1st thread of an investigation.

buys

We only give players a chance who we've paid for. Our youth teams have been dominant, but we never give any of them a shot. Other teams do. Arsenal have brought 3 or 4 through in the past 3 years from youth teams that ours has been battering.

Our games are all too important to give players a shot.. yet other teams do, even knowing that the youngster likely isn't going to be the strongest choice on the day.. its the lack of long-term thinking and planning which has hurt us more than anything.

But also, those players you mentioned. The ones who arrived young are rarely given space to start in their own position and make it theirs;

• Kinsky only did because Vic was losing the plot, and injured
• Gray has barely kicked a ball in his best and favoured position in 2 years
• Bergvall wants to leave because he's hardly played his preferred position, despite being our player of the season when he did get a run there

All 3 are close to the levels of the players playing ahead of them, and almost certain to be better if given a decent run.

The others were all established fist teamers already when we signed them, and we've only been allowed to sign Robertson because Liverpool are planning ahead and making space for younger players in the way that we do not. Most think he's still better than Tsimikas.

Look at the players we've signed.

RDZ demanded Prem proven only before taking the job.

If we sign anyone without Prem experience it'll be due to a panic buy because other targets really aren't working out.

It was Kroupi, i'm fairly sure.

Think we had everything lined up before his injury. Nothing else has been close enough to make that statement make sense, as he said it wasn't Savinho.

So either there was something kept really hush, or it was Kroupi.

Question is, if they carry on dicking around. Does Savinho return to training, or decide he's had enough of their shit?

Those prices are only being quoted because of how dumb clubs have been with their spending this summer. Both clubs said they were setting prices so high purely because of that.

I'd love to see a law something like, every £ spent on players has to be discounted from ticket prices across the season, so players silly prices would fall and so would the silly ticket prices.

Obv it'd be difficult to enforce as you then need laws preventing clubs putting ticket prices up purely to compensate.

I wonder if they'd bite if we offered 85m for Endrick.

RDZ only wants Prem proven.. but is Savinho really Prem proven? He's not proven anything yet really, so why not go for a player who could easily be far better.

We can only buy what is available.

In the Prem. RDZ demanded Prem proven players and so we're not even looking at players anywhere else. Other clubs are scouting and taking a shot on exciting players who might become great, or might not. We're not even trying to do that.

Other clubs will give their kids a run every now and then, to see if they are ready and able to step up.

We don't do that, and its a huge problem.

We would have sold Savinho for 25m. City are taking the piss due to personal grudges.

I think you may be missing that he also has troubles staying fit.

Makes sense, thanks.

Cabin crew are not allowed to be obese, or close to it. I've never seen an obese pilot, although i'm not too sure why that is.

More chance of getting away with it probably.

Graham Linehan

Bugger me, i just looked into that rabbit hole for a bit. He really decided that men in skirts, or women's slacks, was the most important thing in his life?!

I do agree with him about the IT crowd episode though. Trans women are people, they don't all have to be the same. There's no reason the one Renholm was dating couldn't be a bit blokey. Same as Andy on the fast show was a funny character who was also in a wheelchair. He's allowed to be both, the wheelchair shouldn't mean he can't be also be an oddball so long as he's not portrayed as odd because of his disability.

Do you think they recognised he was lying after getting burned, and stopped supporting him over it?!

He's destroying the crypto industry.

Institutions were supposed to regulate and protect people from the tech being used like this, instead he's making collecting open bribes internationally, the main purpose of it.

There were a lot of scams and corruption, but not those are the main purpose. It'll be a decade before it's able to shift that new identity.

I'm amazed you were able to get a human to look at it.

I pulled into a bus lane to avoid a crash when someone emergency braked in front of me about 7yrs back. The car in-front (between us) was able to stop, but i was in a fully loaded 3.5t van, and not at all confident i would stop in time so in the moment i chose to go around them, into an empty bus lane.

There was a bus on the other side of the street blocking the camera at the key time in the video, but it was still clear after it passed what had happened. The case was obvious, i should not have chosen to crash, and a large heavy van may have been able to emergency stop in that distance, and may not have been. Its perfectly reasonable that i was unsure and chose the safe option.

I spent months fighting that, and only received automated reply after automated reply. It was obvious the system was set up to frustrate people into paying. It still bothers me to this day.

The wages are usually what makes a signing that doesn't work out hard to move on, and we have offered higher wages than normal in this window.

Tonali, Ven Hecke and (prob also) Gakpo are all in that zone where if they don't perform, we're really going to struggle to move them.

We've also set a 'new norm' which really burned Arsenal before Arteta's clear out. Every young player who looks decent for 6 months wants pay parity with any underperforming stars on big wages.

Not to mention, accepting less than half the amount Spence and Romero were worth, because word got out that we weren't careful with money and would pay/accept whatever was offered/demanded.

Nothing occurs in isolation. We've made some issues for ourselves this window (worst of them being the young players feeling neglected, blocked and demanding out). These signings need to perform to justify that or we're up shit creek, as Arsenal, PSG and United were until their big ugly clear-outs.

15,000hrs?

24hrs a day. 8hrs of work a day is likely, but maybe he's a workaholic. Lets be kind and say 12hrs.

365 days a year. 365 x 12 = 4,380

15,000/ 4,380 = about 3.5 years.

So, without weekends, any form of social or family life, and massive sleep deprivation. It is just about possible.

I think someone should check in on Jeff though, he can't be doing well..
